trade down to get 21 AND 22. Maybe even add in Bullock for DFS. Take Lively or if he is gone maybe you take Gregory Jackson. at 22 you drop down again to 29 and 32 now you take Tristan Vukcevic and Zach Edey and honestly I worry they may be gone here so I would not be against taking them at 21 and 22 but I'm a gambler and think in terms of taking them later in the draft. This finds us a center and no way you say it doesn't when you take 2 or 3 of them and you increase your odds that one is a starter. You need 2 centers to win and cover the defense anyway.
FREE AGENCY & TRADES: Hey if we could con the nets into adding Cameron Johnson for 2 future first round picks and any of our expirings then that works for me a lot more than DFS but that probably won't happen. Yuta is a nice add as well in free agency but so are a lot of wings like Kieta Bates Diop and the big MLE offer may be better spent on adding depth with NAZ REID. He can play PF as a stretch PF and Center so you add a veteran with him to back up and act as insurance for the rookies.
of the 3 rookies I would prioritize in this order Zach Tristan and Lively but Lively is rated so much higher for some reason that I listed him as the one to draft first but in the long run I see Zach being the starter and Tristan as a PF instead of center so those 2 are the real targets but if you think we can get all 3 do it.
After a few months to closer to the TDL we should know what we have and be better suited to move our expiring guys to teams that are seeing the need to rebuild after shedding salary if they have any pieces that are worth taking on that are not so beaten up on that we can expect them to get cut or retire soon. Taking on teams overpaid trash should earn us picks as well.
Trading THJ is a must we have Hardy and Green and if you keep THJ he is harming their development. Lawson is waiting in the wings to earn some more playing time as well and he is taller than THJ. Holiday is cheap and Pinson is even cheaper and he had a nice little triple double to build on last season.
This talk of trading Irving for AD is insane you just let him go if that is what he wants to do and you target others on the upswing with our now having more $$$ to spend like Cameron Johnson and try to spend $$ on Fleet or try Juan Nunez as an undrafted rookie that could come in having European honors as being the best over there to take at 51. He is 6'4 and hits 3's at a nice clip so he could be a steal for us.

Mavs should draft Cason Wallace at #10. Then sign & trade Kyrie for a big man! (DeAndre Ayton?)
